Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Saturday - August 2

Eve/Victoria puts on her make-up

Here's today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Problematic Punishments:

• Donny knows that "people" (ie: Frankie) are tossing his name in as a replacement nominee. He told Cody as much.
• Victoria is finding out why Caleb was a Have Not due to lack of activity on his FitBit. He really doesn't move much unless he's playing pool. He also likes to nap a lot.
• Donny was worried because Frankie slept in the HoH room with Nicole.
• Hayden told him that she's still on board with the back door if it can be done, but Nicole was scared to sleep alone up there and there were no other takers.
• Nicole thinks that Donny is really smart because he used the word "osmosis."
• Oh my. It doesn't take much to impress her, does it?
• Oh geez ... Frankie really needs to detach himself from that HoH room! He joked about how he almost grabbed the key on the way out due to habit.
• If I were HoH, he would NOT be in there.
• They had the veto players pick blocked to the live feeds. But, as always, we found out anyway -- the additional players are Caleb, Victoria and Christine.
• Hmm ... not ones I particularly wanted to see up there.
• Frankie will host. Again.
• Heh. With all kinds of ruckus going on, Donny said it would be a good idea if they did a grown-up Big Brother.
• I know exactly what he means. Half the time the hamsters are yelling and shouting. Not in anger, mind you. They're just damn loud.
• Nicole told Victoria after her punishment with Caleb is over, she can come up and sleep in the HoH room with her.
• I hope Frankie doesn't think that's an invite for a threesome.
• Frankie and Christine really want Nicole to backdoor Donny.
• Ain't gonna happen, kiddos!
• Nicole or BB announced the Have Nots (blocked to the feeds) -- Hayden, Cody and Frankie.
• I don't recall a vote, but they also got "Pea Lime Pie" to go with the slop.
• Frankie is upset that he was named a Have Not.
• Too bad, so sad.
• Nicole told Hayden that Christine told her there's an all guy alliance.
• She did tell her that.
• Isn't that what started the Amber ouster?
• Won't it work on Christine?
• Please?
• Hayden wants to change the name of the Quad Squad.
• Victoria claims that Hayden stretched her shorts.
• He did.
• She missed the dance he did in them last night. Heehee.
• The Quad Squad which might be the Rationale now agreed that if the PoV is used by anyone on either nominee, Frankie goes up (and goes home).
• They think, without Frankie, Zach will be like a lost puppy.
• I dunno. He's kind of like a puppy with Frankie around! You know puppies -- into everything, running around, acting goofy.
• Zach, Frankie and Christine are also amazed that Donny used the word "osmosis." Why, he must be a doctor!
• @@
• Or a professor!
• @@
• Hmm ... why is Derrick trying to convince Cody that Nicole is working against them?
• Uh-oh. They're losing trust in both Hayden and Nicole!
• But, wait!
• Cody told Derrick that Nicole told him that Christine suggested Derrick or Cody as replacement nomination prospects.
• (She did.)
• So now, who do they trust? Can't trust Christine! Please go back to trusting Hayden and Nicole!
• Cody says his gut feeling is that Frankie and Christine are playing them.
• Duh. Y'think?
• As I get this posted, the PoV is still on and the live feeds are blocked.
• I'll let you know when I know.
• Unless I fall asleep again, that is. I told you I miss having straight theme music because I can nap to that and awaken when I hear voices. These Jeff highlights and interviews are ruining my naps!

Why is he in the HoH bed looking like Pee-Wee?

Just go. Now, please.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Friday evening into Saturday - August 2

The King of Nothing

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of This Certainly Is NO Garden of Eden!:

• Caleb fussed and moaned about not wanting to get his head shaved.
• He claimed his head is ugly shaved.
• He claimed to have a "discriminatory tattoo" on top of his head.
• He claimed that the last time his head was shaved was boot camp and that's when he got the tattoo.
• Although his claims of a racist tattoo are a bit possible due to his anti-Muslim ranting in the house and on the internet, Derrick called him on it as the service would never allow it.
• Then he said it's an Iron Cross tattoo.
• When Frankie looked through his hair for it, Caleb claimed it was small, but was there.
• @@
• Caleb fussed more than any woman on any of these reality shows have when faced with a head-shaving!
• Donny said that both he and Derrick would do horribly with the punishments given Caleb. Oh, no ... they wouldn't fuss so much about the head-shaving (although Donny would look whack with no hair on his head and that beard). Neither one of them would ever go around almost naked.
• I find that refreshing that the house has people who actually like to keep clothes on this season.
• Actually, Derrick and Donny are the first hamsters in several seasons that I could see me being friends with if I knew them in "real life." They're both upstanding caring kind of guys.
• Victoria doesn't have to shave her head, but is very worried about wearing a bikini for two days straight when she's gained 20 pounds since coming into the house.
• (She still looks better in a bikini than I have ever looked in one!)
• Thankfully Caleb isn't attached to Amber half-naked. He'll actually be a gentleman with Victoria.
• Meanwhile, Zach is kicking himself over the BOB loss. He says it's all his fault.
• Happy Go Lucky Boy Zach is seriously worried he might be sent packing this week.
• Me? I'd rather see Jocasta go if the noms remain the same. Zach brings entertainment to the house while she brings long extended prayers droning on and on.
• As Caleb fussed and whined about the head-shaving, Victoria asked him why he can't be normal.
• Heck, he can't be normal because he's Caleb! Sheesh! She should know that by now!
• She also wondered why he can't be positive. Doesn't she realize the love of his life is gone from the house and he not only looks like a fool, but will look foolish?!?!
• Derrick told Christine and Cody that Zach asked him to save him if he wins the PoV. They think he shouldn't use it because Cody will go up on the block if he does.
• They don't know that Derrick and Nicole have talked Frankie as a backdoor.
• I don't know if either would go through with that, though. Derrick might kill Team America if Frankie goes (I don't know what happens when one is evicted) and Nicole might not have the nerve for a major power move.
• Nicole told Donny he could keep his HoH snacks in the room as well as sleep in there if he wishes.
• So ... how come Frankie is in that HoH bed?!?!
• Caleb's latest pre-bald rant: "How will I get a modeling contract bald?"
• What fantasy land is he living in? He's too muscle-bound and short for a modeling contract ... not to mention looking like that Eminem/Charlie Sheen gay romance love child.
• Victoria started the Caleb head shave, then Derrick took over. He's been trimming everyone's hair for a few weeks now and is pretty good at it. I get the feeling that anything Derrick takes on to do, he ends up doing well at it.
• Ahh ... Nicole and Hayden talk alone! She really wants Zach and Frankie both on the block! Woot! Woot! Now, if that comes to fruition, I'd love to see them go for voting Frankie out and keeping Zach. Frankie is actually more dangerous to their games than is Zach. Zach is more of a goofball.
• And, not only that happened in their talk, but they're also planning on discussing it with Derrick and Cody.
• So, Cody isn't a target and Nicole isn't confiding in Christine.
• Good.
• She's much better with Hayden as a close ally than with Christine.
• Frankie thinks the only one who would use the veto if he won it is Donny.
• We'll see about that!
• Frankie wants Nicole to re-nom Donny if someone else uses the veto.
• I don't think that will happen. She's not going to put Donny up.
• Nicole thinks the best case scenario is Donny winning the veto, using it to save Jocasta and she puts Frankie up.
• But, of course, she didn't say that to Frankie.
• Yet another new alliance has formed in the house -- The Quad Squad -- Derrick, Cody, Hayden and Nicole.
• Thankfully, Christine is not a part of it.
• But I wish Donny was ... then all my house favorites would be in it together.
• Hmm ... Derrick just might have turned the Frankie corner. He knows Frankie is working against them as well as for them (cue Andy).
• Hayden thinks Caleb is more fun to be around now that Amber is gone.
• I wouldn't go that far. But, after the head-shaving went down and he stopped whining and fussing, he's been a bit more human.
• I think that's all we can expect from him ... a bit human.
• That's all for now. PoV might rock the house.
• I hope it does!

What? No huge Hayden smile?

Frankie needs to get OUT of HoH room!

Waiting for the reveal

And, there they are!

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Battle of the Block Winners Bulletin - August 1

Caleb and Victoria win the BOB!

Yep, they won the Battle of the Block. Donny is dethroned. Jocasta and Zach remain on the block, Nicole is the sole HoH. Zach is not a happy camper. Of course, this increases the chances that Frankie might be backdoored. Hmm.

• Caleb and Victoria have to be chained together for 48 hours
• Caleb has to shave his head.
• Caleb also has a slop penalty.
• Derrick says that six people are on slop this week -- the four Have Nots and the two on penalty.
• Donny got dunked in a dunk tank.
• The comp had to do with dominoes.
• Yeah, I'm confused. The winners are losers and the losers are winners.
• In a way.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds/Nominations Friday - August 1

Donny nominated Caleb and Victoria

Nicole nominated Zach and Jocasta

But are any of them the real target? Here's what has happened so far today in that Big Brother House of a New Regime:

• Between fish and Jeff highlights feed blocks due to nominations and, right as I type this up, possibly the Battle of the Block, there hasn't been a heck of a lot of feeds time today.
• The nominations were as discussed last night.
• If they keep up with the second part of the plan, it's likely that dear Frankie just might find that back door this week.
• Zach had volunteered to Nicole to go up, saying it would spare her grief in deciding and he actually deserved it from her.
• Donny is covering the Caleb nom by saying Caleb put him on the block.
• The women?
• I guess they're the Forever Pawns.
• They're reassuring both of them that they're going nowhere.
• If, come Thursday, Victoria and Caleb remain on the block, Caleb would go.
• They really want to go for Frankie, though.
• Donny moved all of his stuff out of the little HoH room (ex-Pandora's Box) in case he's dethroned. Apparently they lock that room up once it's down to one HoH.
• Victoria and Caleb have agreed to work together to win the Battle of the Block. Donny even gave Victoria a pep talk.
• Cody thinks he's Donny's target if Donny remains HoH and someone uses the veto.
• Donny himself, other than talking Frankie a bit with Nicole (which it would be more her move to make), has been a bit tight-lipped about it.
• But you know he has a plan in place.
• The BotB seemed to start early this week.
• I'll let you know when I find out.
• If I don't fall asleep, that is!

Will they both survive the week?

Amber is gone; Caleb stalks Zach

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Thursday night into Friday - August 1

Derrick consoles Jocasta

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Fresh HoHs:

• As I mentioned in my previous little blurb -- Nicole and Donny are the new HoHs.
• Jocasta just about had a nervous breakdown after retrieving her bag. She had wanted to win so bad and to go out first again!
• Derrick really did a good job consoling her.
• But her first again out of a comp didn't go unnoticed.
• Zach told Nicole she could put him on the block and he'd have no hard feelings.
• He better be careful what he wishes for!
• Nicole told Cody she wants to protect Derrick, but doesn't want to show all of her cards to Donny.
• When Derrick told Nicole that her plan to lose comps failed, she told him she felt she had to go for the win with Caleb and Zach still in the game. She's sure one of them would have put her on the block.
• Hayden thinks he's safe because he's close to both Nicole and Donny.
• He's probably right.
• Donny said he had a plan for HoH last night before going into it, but it was more of a single HoH plan. He thought they'd stop having the two.
• Donny told Derrick he wouldn't nominate him.
• So, Derrick seems to be sitting pretty this week, too.
• Caleb talked about going out on a date with Amber after the season ends.
• @@
• Donny seems to be leaning towards Caleb as a nomination. He told Caleb that if he did nominate him, it's because Caleb had nominated him before. He also said it would be a nomination with a chance to win at BotB or PoV.
• Donny got a sweet letter from his girlfriend at home.
• Aw.
• With Hayden present, Donny said he'd probably put up Caleb and Victoria. Nicole thinks she might put up Jocasta and Zach.
• Hayden kept talking about Frankie being the impetus to most of the things going on in the house.
• I don't think Donny would put Frankie up due to TA.
• I don't think Nicole has the nerve to make that big a move.
• But I do think that Nicole just might be willing to backdoor Frankie.
• Hmm.
• She says she's not sure ... but maybe!
• The latest new final four group is Nicole, Hayden, Cody and Derrick.
• We'll see how long that lasts.
• And we'll see how the nominations go later today ...

Zach offers to go on the block

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds - HoH Winners - July 31

Nicole  and Donny are the new HoHs! They're talking about working together well. Yay!

Zach volunteered to Nicole to be one of her nominations. He said that way she could get him back for what he's done to her. He also told Caleb that it would make it easier on her. Aw, does Zach have a soft side?

Let the show begin! 

Amber is searching for answers as to why she's on the block. Now Caleb regrets his part in getting her placed there. He throws EVERYBODY in the alliance under the bus, telling her they all knew it was going on.

Team America chose the two hinky votes, blame on others mission. Donny balks at the mission saying it's not in his character to set up people.

The live voting is ready to begin --
Amber -- Speaks of family, friends and Jocasta, love you guys, honest and loyal, benefit your games if I stayed.
Jocasta -- Acknowledge God and family first, trustworthy, loyal, pray for you all, etc.

The votes to evict:
Hayden -- Amber
Victoria -- Amber
Donny -- Amber (says the mission was too risky)
Derrick -- Amber (also mentioned TA and apologized)
Zach -- Amber
Caleb -- Amber
Christine -- Amber
Cody -- Amber
Nicole -- Amber

Yet another unanimous vote, Amber is voted out.

HoH comp -- the hamsters viewed videos of themselves yesterday and that will be part of today's comp. Still two HoH this week. "Getting Loopy" - a series of statements based on the videos, true or false.

Jocasta out.
Victoria, Christine and Derrick out.
Cody out.
Five-way tie, out of time for the live broadcast. Commercial.

They will announce the HoH Winners on Sunday -- but I'll let you know tonight in a separate post. Next week is Double Eviction.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday night into Thursday - July 31

I want to decline this mission

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mission Impossible?:

• Ho-hum. They talked a lot of small talk about food and previous seasons.
• When they talked about how double evictions, Zach and Frankie are not all that knowledgeable about how they actually go down. Donny is.
• But we know that it's not a double eviction tonight.
• We know Julie always tells us!
• Caleb is sure it's tonight.
• Heh. He probably wants to go off into the sunset with his true love forever and forever.
• Run like the wind, Amber! Escape!
• Caleb says that after the show is over, he and Amber will go on a date.
• @@
• I say she'll get a restraining order.
• As always, there's a lot of speculation over who would be nominated if various hamsters won HoH.
• It's something they do to pass the time and grow the paranoia.
• Caleb says that they let him do a second goodbye message to Amber because he was bawling in the first one.
• I hope they show the first one.
• Frankie and Zach continue to grow closer. Zach promised to tell Frankie if he heard either Derrick or Cody say anything about him. Frankie is worried because Christine's name is being brought up more and more as a possible target.
• As she should be. She's useless. She can go home.
• Derrick received the Team America mission -- it's the hinky votes one in which two have to vote against the house, then accuse two others of the hinky votes from the time of the eviction announcement to when they go out to play for HoH.
• They don't like the mission.
• Donny wants to decline the mission.
• Derrick thinks they can blame Caleb (voting to keep Amber) and Zach.
• I think Donny might be worried that they might actually tip the scale and send Jocasta home. 
• Meanwhile, while Team America is panicking about the hinky vote mission inside, Nicole and Hayden are outside talking about how Christine might throw in a hinky vote just to mess with people.
• Heck, there's one just there!
• Donny finally said he'd do it if the others do, but doesn't want anyone blaming him for it later on.
• They are seriously thinking of not doing the mission. We'll see. 
• Donny thinks it's seriously out of character for him and he came to win the half-million, not play America's game.
• While Derrick admits he's also there to win the big prize, he thinks it an honor to be chosen and wants to try to complete each mission.
• After Donny left Derrick and Frankie, they both talked of how little Donny has done in these missions. Frankie wants him out.
• That's all she wrote for now ...

Zankie

Why do they keep her?

Victoria talks religion

What are we gonna do?

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Wednesday into the evening - July 30

Like peas in a pod

Okay, I'm here. I just barely made it what with that nasty Sharknado hitting nearby NYC! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Landsharks:

• Donny and Jocasta talked about immature Caleb is at 26 and not getting that Amber has no interest in him.
• Hey, everybody sees it except Caleb!
• Caleb has been running around to everyone telling them it's his fault Amber's on the block and not to vote her out.
• They lounged around without much going on until ...
• ... the Memory Wall changed to videos of each of them in comps!
• Most likely something will come up about this during this week's HoH comp or, if not, a future comp.
• So, they studied them intently.
• Frankie seemed the least interested. As outgoing HoH, he won't be playing in the HoH comp Thursday.
• Zach was the first other person to give up.
• Right now he thinks he's sitting pretty in the house despite his outbursts.
• He probably is.
• Hayden told Donny that Frankie should be nominated before Caleb because he's more dangerous in the game -- anyone can make Caleb do anything. He's just that dense.
• Of course, Hayden doesn't know that Donny has a reason for wanting to keep Frankie around.
• And Donny can't/won't tell him.
• If not for Team America, I'm sure Donny would agree with Hayden.
• Cody told Derrick that Hayden talked of backdooring Frankie if there's a double eviction.
• Again, Derrick can't/won't mention Team America to Cody.
• Derrick thinks that Hayden and Nicole are growing too close and he knows Nicole lied to him about the whole after PoV/Amber fiasco.
• Frankie had admitted to Derrick that he embellished that and Nicole had actually confirmed it to Derrick. So, one of them is lying to Derrick!
• I hope he doesn't set his sights on them.
• I'd rather see Christine go next.
• She brings no entertainment value to me on these long summer nights.
• She can go away.
• Victoria is still stalking Derrick, albeit not in a Caleb-ish way.
• Caleb wants to throw tomorrow's HoH comp.
• I say, "Let him!"
• Unfortunately, Derrick says otherwise and told him he should try to win it.
• Gah.
• Just what we need ... Lonesome Creepy Cowboy reigning over the house!
• The plan is still to vote out Amber and, for the moment, Caleb is going with the vote.
• We'll see. It wouldn't take a Sharknado to change his mind once again.

Donny checks his FitBit

Hey! Whazzat on the Memory Wall?

Why, it's video clips!

Studying, some more than others

Big Brother 16: PoV Show Blog Party - July 30

Ready for the party? As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, if you're looking for the real party -- head down to the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Recap, recap. Victoria and Jocasta upset with each other, naturally. Amber is the backdoor plan. Zach is running around annoying people. He's decided to bug the Have Nots. Frankie wants Zach to stay quiet ... until the Veto Meeting (for Team America). Nicole gets to shun the Germa-tard.

Hayden asks Victoria to choose him if she gets Houseguest's Choice in the PoV players pick -- he promises to take her off the block if he wins. Nicole is suspicious.

Derrick gets the news that his grandfather has passed away.

Caleb thinks he's Beast Mode Cowboy and will ignore Amber as he keeps talking about and obsessing about Amber.

Veto players pick time! Frankie draws Donny, Victoria gets HG choice and chooses Hayden, Jocasta gets Christine. Christine will keep nominations the same as she does NOT want them to put Amber on the block.

Veto comp -- Amber hosts. A western theme, Caleb is upset he's not in it. Rocking horses, stacking gold bars, timed to get back on horse, rocking 60 times, can go on slop for a week to get back in game. They only get 30 seconds to stack their gold bars. Jocasta timed out and took slop.

Hayden wins the power of veto!

Zach gets Caleb *the dummy* to run to Frankie suggesting they pretend Amber is going to be backdoored to teach her a lesson. Oy.

Team America -- Vote against the majority of house, convincing two others did it or get two TA members as HoH.

Time for the veto meeting and will the Zach attack win TA another five grand each? Jocasta says she's trustworthy, loyal, etc. Victoria chose him to play for it. Hayden uses the veto to save Victoria. Frankie puts Amber up. Zach gets up, lights into Amber. Mission failed. She just smiled at him.

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds Tuesday night into Wednesday - July 30

Hayden manhandles Nicole

Tomorrow night should be very interesting. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of I've Got Your Back Bro:

• The late night started off quiet enough -- a pool tournament with a mild kerfuffle over the game.
• Then it all got interesting, almost to the point of addicting.
• Frankie is still thinking of himself and those bloody hands. He thinks they might want to split the vote so Caleb isn't as mad when it all goes down.
• Derrick and Zach think no on that thought.
• Derrick thinks that might put Jocasta at risk for going home if they split the vote. They definitely want Amber to go.
• Zach thinks that Caleb might try to self-evict if Amber goes.
• Too bad, so sad, I say.
• Meanwhile, Amber is talking to Christine about the girls taking over.
• A bit too late for that, as well as implausible.
• Christine runs back to report to Derrick that Amber was talking about the six guys being in an alliance and that Amber would put Caleb up on the block.
• Oh, way to play into their plan, Amber!
• Amber told Cody that she thinks her alliance (the guys) don't have her back.
• Well, duh.
• Frankie, Derrick and Chistine weighed the options of keeping Amber.
• For a few minutes, that is.
• Christine doesn't want to get rid of Amber. Y'know, that will make her a target of the boys sooner than later.
• Derrick spent a lot of time avoiding Victoria. She's latched onto him and he likens her to a chihuahua in with a bunch of pit bulls. He thinks she's just too naive for the crowd.
• He's probably right to a point there. Victoria is like a lesser Donny watching people. Donny knows what to do with the bits and pieces he picks up. Victoria watches, picks up on what's happening, but doesn't always know what it means.
• Frankie et al decide it's best to pit Amber and Caleb against each other, which was pretty much the original plan anyway.
• Derrick thinks they should wait on that.
• But, do they wait?
• Nope.
• It goes down.
• Frankie told Caleb that Amber is targeting him (Caleb) and will put him on the block if she gets HoH.
• Zach agrees.
• Cody agrees.
• Caleb is crushed, mad ... and runs away.
• Well, downstairs.
• Derrick reined him in and brought him back upstairs.
• "We've got your back, bro."
• "We didn't want to tell you because we knew it would hurt you."
• "She's bad news."
• Again ... hook, line and sinker.
• I think Caleb just might be the most manipulation-friendly hamster we've ever seen in the house. He'll fall for any story. 
• Just from house scuttlebutt with Frankie and Zach, it sounds like they might have Christine in their sights as the next girl out.
• But Caleb would be first.
• Caleb is thinking of how to wreak revenge on Amber from pranks to "murking her."
• Zach is, as he usually does, egging him on.
• Derrick and Cody tell Caleb he should run anything he wants to do by the Diary Room to make sure he doesn't get in trouble.
• I feel the need to point out that Frankie was amongst the missing for most of the talk with Cody, Zach, Derrick and Caleb.
• Is he falling out of favor with them?
• Yep, I think so. Of course, Caleb is out of favor with him, but he was the topic of the night. He had to be there.
• Today is another day. We'll see if there are any real brouhahas. At least we're getting some drama now.

He's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs

Lying doesn't become him

Lookin' the fool in more ways than one

Frankie's head explodes

Big Brother 16: Live Feeds into Tuesday evening - July 29

Smiling because she's Caleb-free right now

Y'know, if Caleb was here right here right now ... I'd have to duct tape his mouth. Or something. I'm SO tired of hearing him go on and on, saying the same things over and over again. Maybe duct tape his mouth and kick him in the knee for good measure. And, mind you, I'm not normally a violent person!

Here's today's happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Circular Discussions:

• They goofed up this morning and one of the wake-up songs came through on the feeds for a bit. Something about "put your hand down my pants."
• Um. No. I wouldn't really want to wake up to that, thank you very much!
• Caleb has noticed that his confrontations with Nicole over what Amber said to her after the PoV differ whether Frankie's in the room with them or not.
• "I'm not an idiot," says Caleb.
• Well, yeah. You are. Why don't you just go sit in the corner flexing your muscles and admiring your tattoos. Ah, good boy!
• But, no. Caleb doesn't do that. He continues to interrogate people over who said what to whom. 
• Get a clue. It's too late. You were a fool and, unfortunately, Amber is paying the price.
• Caleb is sure that he can gather the votes to save Amber.
• Oh, to be a knight in shining armor rescuing the damsel in distress once again!
• Frankie got his HoH camera and just about all the photos were selfies.
• That's a first.
• However, it's Frankie and we should have seen it coming.
• Victoria told Hayden she doesn't think of him in a boyfriend kind of way and Nicole should understand that.
• He said he doesn't think of her in a girlfriend kind of way, either. If he did, they wouldn't be able to share the same bed.
• After he said that, he followed up with: "Wanna make out?"
• The hamsters think they're due a luxury comp and a double eviction.
• They're not getting either right away, I don't think.
• I would say it's quite possible that a week from Thursday could be a double eviction. We are kind of due, but Julie always warns the viewers.
• As for the luxury comp, I don't believe they had one last season and perhaps the season before, too.
• Caleb bragged to Zach about being a celebrity in his town even before BB.
• He keeps going on about The Voice. Now, I know someone who actually made the second round of that show. At the time, she was very excited about the possibilities. But when she didn't make it on the show (same as Caleb), it was over. She never went bragging that she was on The Voice when she wasn't!
• He also bragged about how good-looking he and his brothers are. Well, I can't speak of the brothers. But, to me, Caleb looks like the love child of a Charlie Sheen/Eminem gay romance gone bad.
• I know. I know. I'm being very mean about Caleb. That's not really like me. But he's droned on for two days straight now, same stuff over and over again. And, in between he talks about how great he is.
• EEEK!
• Caleb told Frankie he cried when he taped the goodbye message to Amber.
• Who would expect anything else from him? I mean, really. 
• Nicole is almost a basket case. Caleb keeps questioning her. She knows Amber is going home, so isn't worried about Amber, but is scared of Caleb. She doesn't know whether to tell the truth or lie.
• Heck, if it were me, I'd tell him I'm not dealing with him anymore. Go away!
• Amber made cinnamon rolls for the Have Nots.
• I do feel sorry for Amber. She got a raw deal on the show just because a psycho stalker became infatuated with her and tainted her game.
• After numerous discussions, it still looks like they're not going to tell Caleb/Amber that the vote will be a landslide for her to go.
• They're having a pool tournament now.
• Yawn.
• But it's better than listening to the Caleb broken record, for sure. 

Yet, she's on his mind (or lack of one)

Hayden isn't in the house mess

Welp, Caleb's infatuation with Amber has indeed cost her the game. We can only hope that Caleb himself does himself in as well in the coming week or two. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pancakes:

• After the whole Quietly Backdoor Amber Plan blew up, the more aggressive Okay, Amber You're Going Home Plan took its place.
• Caleb told Frankie he feels responsible for it and would prefer Jocasta go home.
• @@
• Now, they were going to do this whether Caleb went along or not! The dolt is just too um ... doltish to realize it.
• The sad thing (other than the whole Caleb infatuation which ruined any chances Amber ever had in the house) is that Amber can't even spend much time in peace.
• Caleb keeps cornering her, questioning her.
• NO, she did NOT enjoy the "date" with him. Leave her alone! You've done enough damage.
• He once again wants to be her knight in shining armor and save her.
• Dude, she just isn't into you. Sure, at this point, any help anyone can try to give her, she'll take. But then she'll drop you like a hot potato.
• Nicole's upset because now Amber is mad at her. Derrick told her it's because Frankie threw her under the bus. 
• I wonder how all these buses fit in that tiny backyard?
• In these many talks, Amber has hinted that she didn't want any romance because she recently lost someone. She doesn't want to go into details.
• Whether that's it or not ... she's NOT INTERESTED IN CALEB.
• Sheesh.
• Caleb tried to convince Cody they need to keep Amber.
• Bwahahaha!
• Does he seriously think with this huge kerfuffle, they're going to change their minds and keep her now? Voting her out is pretty much the only option at hand because of all the damage done.
• Caleb is a broken record, repeating things ad nauseam.
• My only hope is that he gets laryngitis.
• Really.
• Where's the main tool of destruction through all of this?
• Yes, I'm talking Zach.
• He slept through the majority of the aftermath.
• It doesn't matter to him anyway. It's all a big joke to him.
• But, with Caleb going off the deep end, he'll be out before Zach. While Zach is a wild card, he's easily usable by the others -- just get him excited about the chance of ruffling feathers and he's on it!
• In other news, Nicole has been upset that Victoria keeps hanging on Hayden. Hayden has told her he's not interested in Victoria while Victoria told Derrick she needs Hayden in the game. 
• Caleb finally admitted to Amber that he threw the pillow at her (after telling her once again he was asleep).
• She doesn't know how creepy and stalkerish he looked in the hoodie with the night vision cameras on. It could have been out of a horror movie. Thankfully it was only a pillow he threw.
• Donny and Hayden talked to each other about Frankie needing to go home. They think everyone LIKES them while everyone LOVES Frankie, not good for their chances.
• Y'know, I like Donny and Hayden more than I like Frankie.
• They're both playing a good game on their own. Frankie's running from side to side will hurt him in the long run, I think.
• Derrick is playing the best game of all.
• Alas, I don't think any of the women are playing a good game this season.
• Not that I want another Rachel, mind you.
• But I wouldn't mind seeing another BB6 version of Janelle in it to win it.
• So, things are pretty set. Amber should be going out the door despite Caleb's persuasion attempts which we can expect for the next two days.

"At the end of the day ..."

Amber will be going home

Really? The cameras are everywhere?
